Ther [Thermometer] Saturday, Aug. 28, 1915 [August 28, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Fair
Sunny but very hazy & somewhat cloudy.
Very cool with light northerly wind.
  In Garden shortly after breakfast, found
3 Bay-breast Warblers [Bay-breasted Warbler] & a [female] Mniotilta
flitting about in birch grove where the
same species were noted yesterday. No doubt
they were the self-same birds reduced in
numbers by the departure of a portion of
the flock last night. They were all the
north-bred migrants I could discover but
there was also a Goldfinch there this morning.
Later in day (at 3 & 4.30 P.M.) I searched
the entire grounds carefully without seeing
or hearing a bird of any kind.
  Went in town at 9.30. Bought at 
Browning, King & Co's, Washington St,
mostly at greatly reduced midsummer rates,
shirts, under wear, neck ties etc. to
the total amount of $38.98. Next
to Steinert's where I took out five new
September records. Thence to office where I
saw Arthur & Darling. Home to luncheon
with C. [Caroline Brewster] & E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] at 1.30. Wrote letters in P.M.
Called at the Deane's at 7.30 & saw Charlie
George & Mary. Played new records To C. & E. later.

Ther [Thermometer] Sunday, Aug. 29, 1915 [August 29, 1915] Wea [Weather]
Dull
Cloudy, calm, cool, with light rain
in early morning & mid afternoon.
  In Garden: noted birds of three species
only - a Robin, a Grackle (heard) and
2 Swifts (circling high at sunset).
Tree Crickets in old-time numbers
after dark. Very few Butterflies
came to our flowers this summer
and Percy has seen but one Hummingbird.
Ten or a dozen Green Frogs, transformed
in June from tadpoles brought from
Concord last autumn & kept through
winter in aquaria jars, have remained
contentedly in pond front of Museum
& are now about one third grown.
Those similarly introduced there in 1914
did not reappear this spring. Garden toads
have spawned there repeatedly since April &
a few of their tadpoles still remain.
Adult toads increasingly numerous in Garden.
  Spent most of day in Museum
writing letters. Sarah & Clara Howe called
at 8 P.M. Victrola music 9-10 P.M.
Open fires in hall & Museum.
